Just a 5 point game with 47 seconds left very easy to lose here still.

Of course I feel a lot better about a 7 point lead with 27 seconds left thanks to that Cade score.

This is, without question the best win this year's Pistons will get. On the road, against the champs. Glad I watched.(Cades back, so yeah)

On the road is a big deal. Especially for young teams. It's just one game and we are legitimately the worst team in the league so I don't wanna get carried away, but that was nice.

And Giannis blows a meaningless layup. I LOVE IT!!!!

PHEW!!! Best win of the year, a lot of great contributions. They played smart ball, kept it moving and played defense. And the Bucks were on a winning streak and you know they wanted to keep it going, this was a win for our boys, not a loss by a disinterested Bucks team. They tried to turn it up late and we just let pushing, what a win.

Man that was pretty comprehensive from whistle to whistle. The ball and player movement was there, players getting shots on time and in rhythm. Defensive scheme looked great from scrambling out to shooters and walling up on Giannis. Pistons refuse to lose in 2022.

That game was a blast to watch. I think some folks here, including myself, owe Bey an apology. Yeah he has some rough shooting nights but he's a baller.

Games like this and seeing the growth of Bey and Diallo with Grant out must fuel.the "Trade Grant" idea in Weaver's head. Get some young players who can fill bigger needs for Grant and build a more balanced team. Not to mention that the ball movement has been more apparent since Grant went down.

All 10 players who played for us were positive in +/- Even Micah Potter who only played 2 minutes

There goes our draft pick! :wink:

Great win.

honestly, without analyzing anything, it was just great for our regular guys to get a win. losing consistently is tough but they pulled this one out against the bucks who probably didn't think they could lose.

Josh Jackson did an excellent job of letting the game come to him and not forcing anything. Diablo is a team player his playing style is he's playing to win

Nobody with more than half a brain saw what Saddiq did last year, saw him add some iso/post game ability, then just start off the season shooting cold gave up on him.

Which means that yes, all of you who were calling Bey another wasted draft pick/just a bench player on a good team have less than half a brain.
